1 Year, 100 posts.

Ok not quite. Next post will be 100. I was thinking of doing some kind of contest...but I have no idea what to do or give away XD
Any suggestions will result in....some kind of reward. I'm no good at this....

It's kind of exciting for me though....I kept up with this thing pretty well, considering my other blog had been around for years, I've started it over twice...or three times....and now it's ignored pretty well. Bleh. It's tough to keep up with sketches! Everything wants to be a full piece of arts. Dolls are a little easier.

I'm in a decent doll mood despite having issues with the second-hand market atm, and having an all around crappy year so far (I should have known better). I've got way too many commissions to do, leaving my dolls in the dust for now, so it's possible I won't have anything new for a while, but due to some recent sales I can get the head I wanted! AND because I can now, I'm putting out an APB for a Volks Michele....I have always wanted one, and now I'm biting the bullet. Or at least attempting. If I don't get him, I have a couple other heads I'll try for, and then give up and attempt to grab a Chibi Unoa. If that fails I shall whine a lot.

So seriously, I want a Volks Michele...if you know of one for sale, lets me knows! No recasts. Real thing only.

That's all for now....I'll be back when I can think of something spectacular for post 100....

YAYYYYYYY!!

My Breakaway is back!! YAY AISHEIPOO!!

He's been a floating head since July (or june?) and now he's on a body again! :D

I'm so happy....I really missed him. Aishe is one of my "core" characters...I love his widdle head - he is the only doll I had a "relationship" with prior to owning. I watch his previous owner on DA and got attached to him, his story, his character....pretty much everything. When she put him up for sale I was heartbroken....

...For about three seconds until I realized I could buy him myself! lol

He's a completely different character now, the only thing I kept was the faceup and scar mod. For almost four years! That's like a record for me!! My plan now is to finally remove as much of the face up as I can around the scars (I contacted the modder, they're removable, so I have to be super-careful not to damage them) and give him a new, more "me" faceup. Hopefully I can do the eyebrows similar...I like his expression as is...He looks kind of...naive and happy XD

Maybe it's just me.

Here's an old piccy of Aisheface from shortly after I gots him.

Originally when I first got him, I had him on a borrowed B&G body, which I loved and decided I needed. I bought my own, but it was not the same...it was shades different in color and it posed differently. Eventually I sold it to pay for Nailo, an LE Fullset from B&G figuring I could use his body, the new type 3 for Aishe. But when he arrived I hated the body. A lot. The type 2 is MUCH better.

I bought him an old, used and modded Fdoll body which was the worst match yet, thinking it would be temporary until I could get him another B&G type 2 (as basic as it is, it's one of my most favorite bodies....James is on Wyn's and it's one of the best I own), but stupid B&G went to enviro resin (ugh) and then discontinued the Type 2!!! SCREW YOU B&G!!

So for a long time I did nothing.

Then I finally cleaned off his fdoll bod, sold it cheap and he floated in my head box for six months.

Now he's back!!!! Uriel will be so happy >3<
So will Thomas. I guess I should put him in real clothes instead of the fur loincloth he's been wearing since....uh, before I sold Aishe's body D:

I suck as a doll mom.
